At just over half an hour’s drive away from our luxury lodges, Gigrin Farm offers a fun-filled day out for all to enjoy. This 160 acre family-run farm is famed for its Red Kite Feeding Centre, with hundreds of red kites flocking here for food on a daily basis. Overlooking both the Wye and Elan Valleys, you can admire breath taking displays of these beautiful birds as they soar and glide above.
